As far as I know the '30-31's are all the same (thinner than the early A's). The windshield is vertical in the closed position. I have had A's where the "arms" wouldn't go all the way vertical with the windshield closed but angled out a little. I'm assuming the windshield is higher in the opening so the arm is trying to pull the windshield down when moving the arm up to vertical. Could be the wrong gasket between the top of the windshield frame and the opening. Slantwindows had a gasket/weatherstrip unique to that model. Check Bratton's description on part number 30180. Or just years of compression?
